seriously aint much else

Dang seriously?
i guess it's because i'm young, but i use it for:
Forums
My University Website
Twitter
Downloading music, software, videos
Shopping
A host of tutorials (Photoshop, Pro Tools, etc.)
Watch famous people interviews (Like in Breakfast Club and stuff like that)
Recipes
Netflix
Troubleshoot type stuff
and a host of other things i don't feel like typing.
but like i said, it may be because i'm a part of the internet generation

I remember in the late 90's and early 2000's everytime I touched a cpu I went straight to eastbay.com,lol. I would look at sneakers and nothing but sneakers. I was like 9-12 yrs old something like that.

The internet>TV, Phone, and all other things that can go under the umbrella of what people use for their entertainment

It's not just younger people, I'm in my 30s and I've been using the internet for almost everything since the early 00s, but I've been goofing off on the internet since the mid90s. I can still remember leaving my connection on almost the entire night to grab the Quake 1 demo in 1996.

 

[BigDanes89]

damn i remember 12min wait to download songs hahahaha

 

[finallyfamous]

Crazy man.

Cool tho

Can't wait for what's in store for 2022

 

[mints]

Anyone remember Kozmo.com? They offered local delivery within an hour, on just about anything, but they died in 2001; it's interesting to see Amazon slowly spread into filling that segment of the market, they've finally got enough warehouses to support it in a few big areas.

 

[antbanks81]

i remember selecting several songs to d/l and going to bed. now its all yours in a matter of seconds

damn what a difference a decade makes

 

[jayhood23]

I wish I had one of those genius internet ideas like FB and be sitting on a load of cash

 

[nothingtol0se]

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

[leftcoastin]

damn i remember 12min wait to download songs hahahaha

And that's IF the song was seeded heavily; at least when trying to download off of Kazaa. 

How can Internet Explorer be #1 and Opera used more than Safari? I guess they don't count smart phones. 

I remember being on a certain site with games like Pico's Revenge, Dress up games and Dating Simulated games. I remember selling my Original French Blue XIIIs to pay for my own phone line, the countless amount of AOL Floppy Discs/CDs and then finally finding a loophole with NetZero.

Same here. 

The younger generation who have grown up with the internet their whole lives are very privileged, but having said that I'm also glad I experienced what life was like before it

....I couldn't do without it now though, such a fantastic innovation.

 

[sin city]

It's a cool feeling knowing that we got to experience the creation of the Internet itself. A great leap in technological history occurred throughout our lifetime. We all still have a chance to create something extrodinary for the future with simply a brilliant idea.
